The inaugural downtown-to-downtown trip took five hours (it was pulled by a railcar mover), but things should move a little quicker once the Central Corridor is complete -- for real riders, the 11-mile trip from Target Field to the St. Paul Union Depot will stop 22 times and take 39 minutes.

Sunday's trip was to make sure the train won't hit anything around or above it while moving down the tracks.

"It went as we expected. We were very happy," Laura Baenen, media communications manager for the Central Corridor project, told the Pioneer Press. "We were confident there wouldn't be impediments, and there weren't." Well, that's good, because it'd certainly suck if it crashed into that classic Rice Street McDonald's that used to be a bank or something.
